Free NBA Pick: Portland vs. Denver Under 201 (Rob Vinciletti)
On Thursday the free play is on the Under in the Portland TrailBlazers at Denver game. Rotation numbers 703/704 at 10:35 eastern. This game is nationally televised on TNT. In this series 7 of the last 11 have played under the total and this one should be much lower scoring than the last game these two played here. Portland has played under 11 of 14 times on the road when the posted total is 200 to 205 and Denver has had real problems scoring of late. Look for this one to play under the posted 201.5 total tonight. On Thursday I have an NBA Double system side that has 3 Big Power angles that apply. We Cashed a 5th straight NBA Top play with Phoenix on Wednesday and we roll into April hot as a pistol. In the NIT I have 2 Big NIT Tourney systems that apply tonight as well as a Key 90% Angle that plays against our opponent. Jump on and Start April with a Bang. For the free play Take the Under in the Portland at Denver game. RV

Free NBA Pick: Denver Nuggets -4.5 (Big Al McMordie)
At 10:35 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Denver Nuggets minus the points over Portland. This is very much a contrarian play, as Denver comes into tonight’s game at the Pepsi Center “ice-cold,” as it has failed to cover in nine straight games. But six of those have come on the road, and Denver is still a very strong 18-3 over its last 21 home games, and one of those wins was over this Portland club on March 7. Denver won that game 118-106, and shot 59% while it held the Blazers to 43% field goal shooting. And we get a great benefit from Denver’s recent short-term performance: the line on this game is much more favorable than the 7 points which Denver was favored by (and covered) 3 1-2 weeks ago. Finally, it’s worth noting that since 1991, in the regular season, home teams off a loss of 15+ points are 69% ATS vs. conference foes off a win of 15+ points, provided our home team’s win percentage ranges from .550 to .715, and it is matched up against a .610 (or better) foe. With Denver in off a 109-93 loss at Dallas, and Portland in off a 28-point blowout of New York, we’ll fade the Trail Blazers tonight. Take Denver. Good luck, as always…Big Al McMordie.
